This section is included in your selections.

(A) Maximum length of blocks, measured along the centerline of the street, and between intersecting street centerlines, 1500 feet; except that in development with lot areas averaging one half acre or more or where extreme topographic conditions warrant, this maximum may be exceeded by 500 feet. Blocks shall be as long as reasonably possible under the circumstances within the above maximum in order to achieve depth and possible street economy and to reduce the expense and safety hazard arising from excessive street intersections.

(B) Maximum length of cul de sac streets, 325 feet, measured from the intersection of right of way lines to the extreme depth of the turning circle along the street centerline. Exceptions may be made where topography justifies but shall not be made merely because the tract has restrictive boundary dimensions, wherein provision should be made for extension of street pattern to the adjoining unplatted parcel and a temporary turn around installed.

(C) Pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian ways: a minimum right of way width of ten feet may be required where essential for circulation or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities. Pedestrian ways may be used for utility purposes. (Prior Code, § 15-3-4)
